What to Serve with Chicken Sandwich
I love my chicken sandwich as it is. I enjoy the creamy and crispy filling of the sandwiches, maybe with a spicy mayo dipping or sometimes hot sauce. However, if you want to try a classic meal variation, serve it with crispy potato wedges or golden fries. You can also try a side salad with fresh greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, and your favorites. For a full meal, pair it with creamy coleslaw or a bowl of soup, like tomato or vegetable soup, or chicken fries. Also, don’t forget to have a chilled drink, like iced tea or lemonade, to complete the meal!
Chef’s Tips
- White bread is ideal for this recipe because of its soft yet sturdy texture, which holds the filling without squishing. However, feel free to use any bread you prefer.
- Use whole egg mayonnaise for a creamier, smoother texture and better flavor, as it contains more egg than regular mayonnaise.
- If you want a more crunchy texture, lightly toast the bread with butter before assembling the sandwich. It adds an extra layer of crispness.
- If you are not a fan of mayonnaise, replace it with Greek yogurt.
